Yea, in general, the name is considered a system dependent property and the client should get to chose what makes sense for them . If the name is important, it should be transferred in the actual data.

I suppose we COULD throw the name into a mime header on the part, but we'd be the only toolkit to really do that or understand that. Thus, it wouldn't exactly be portable.

Pardon the non-answer, but for my MTOM example
(http://www.jroller.com/gmazza/date/20071102), in step #11, I let the client set the name. Wouldn't it seem more natural to let the client decide what
it wants the file it obtains to be called?

As an alternative, perhaps best to send a separate String element for the filename in the SOAP response, then your client can name the file based on
that name.  Perhaps even a more portable solution.

I have a service that uses MTOM to send a image file. As a client I can
get the data, but the file name is lost. I have tried to set it in
ByteArrayDataSource.setName() and create a DataHandler using it on server side. But still, the client always get null from DataSource.getName() and when I use tcpmon to look at the traffic, I couldn't find the file name
any where.

Is this how it works? And how can I preserver the file name?

Thanks,
